The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)
Where Insurance Nexus gets its data, on what terms, with what quality and with which known gaps.
Fig.How a finding is reviewed before it is published. Design, not a record.
The Insurance Nexus source register lists the datasets and records the platform draws on, such as OECD Global Insurance Statistics, each with its producer, licence and permitted uses, quality and known gaps. A source is listed only once its terms permit the use described, and data held by agreement is used under those terms and never republished.
For financial source and licence register, in GRA's spatial-finance reading, the map opens on population density and night lights with built-up and settlement extent from NASA GIBS, framed on the Gulf of Mexico coast; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

| Source | Gives | Evidence label | Reuse |
|---|---|---|---|
| OECD Global Insurance Statistics | Premiums, claims and investments by country | OFFICIAL | Free under OECD terms |
| EIOPA Solvency II statistics | Aggregate balance sheet, own funds and capital requirements by country | OFFICIAL | EU reuse terms |
| NAIC statistical compilations | US premium, loss and market share by line | OFFICIAL | Summary public; detail licensed |
| IAIS Global Insurance Market Report | Sector-wide monitoring including climate and protection gaps | OFFICIAL | Public |
| EM-DAT | Event economic loss where reported | REPORTED | Free for non-commercial use, registration |
| IBTrACS and CHIRPS | Storm tracks and rainfall for trigger and event replay | OBSERVED | Open |
Insured loss by event and location is held by carriers and aggregators and is rarely public at fine resolution. Uninsured loss is estimated, not observed. Insurance Nexus labels both and shows the resolution at which any comparison is made. Loss accounting evidence at GCRI disaster loss accounting.
Sources are added to the register as they are reviewed. A source is listed only once its terms permit the use described.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Provenance | Information about the entities, activities and people involved in producing a record, used to judge its quality and reliability, in the W3C PROV model. |
| FAIR principles | Guiding principles that make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable by people and machines. |
| Open licence | A licence that allows anyone to access, reuse and redistribute data, sometimes with attribution. |
| Data lineage | A record of where data came from and how it was transformed before use. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
